Bolt Action US Airborne 1st Infantry Section

This boxed set of 28mm scale metal figures are part of Warlord Games US 101st Airborne Division, aka "The Screaming Eagles", arguably some of the toughest of the US Army.
Aggressive and innovative, these elite troops were eager to take the war to "the Krauts" - something they did so successfully. They were ordinary citizen soldiers, but highly trained and motivated, superbly equipped and packed with firepower as only an American force can be.
This veteran squad comprises an NCO armed with a Thompson Sub-Machine Gun, two other men armed with Thompson SMGs and a Browning .30 calibre LMG team made up of a gunner and a loader.
Here is an overhead shot to better show off the LMG team.
 The rest of the section comprises five men armed with rifles and carbines.
These metal figures are very well sculpted and detailed. I particularly like the running rifleman throwing a hand grenade. My only minor gripe with them is that I wish one of the riflemen were armed with a Browning Automatic Rifle. They are allowed one BAR per infantry section.

    1. Very much appreciated, Simon. Although I am very much concentrating on my "Bolt Action" figures I'm also making good progress on finishing the last of my "Core Space" crews.

  4. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.

  5. My name is Olisa Blessing, I am so happy. I never believe I will be this happy again in life. I have worked as an air hostess ( cabin crew ) for 3years but early this year, I lost my job because of this destructive ailment called Herpes virus (HSV).
    I never felt sick or notice any symptoms. Not until the day all workers were asked to bring their current doctor's report card, that was how I got tested and I found out that I'm HSV positive and that made me lose my job because it was considered as an STD and is an incurable disease.
    I was so depressed to the extent that I started thinking of suicide. I explained my situation to an older friend of mine, who often said to me 'a problem shared is a problem half solved.
    She felt so pity for me that she referred me to Dr. Utu Herbal Cure, that was how I contacted Dr. Utu and got the medication from him and was cured for real.
    I went back to my work a month later with a HERPES NEGATIVE test result. They were astonished and curious when they saw my HSV NEGATIVE result so they carried out another test on me in the company lab to be very sure and they found out I am indeed a HERPES VIRUS FREED PERSON.
    Finally, the initial HERPES POSITIVE result was replaced with a new HERPES NEGATIVE test result, and my position was given back to me with an apology letter and a salary increase.
    Beware of impersonators,
    Dr. Utu can only be reached at:
